More fallout about Apostolic Administrator Bishop Edward Schargenberger’s decision to hold a meeting with Catholic Diocese priests, including some suspended as credibly accused of sexual abuse.

The bishop met with most of the diocese’s priests a week ago today in St. Leo the Great Church to talk about probable bankruptcy and participate in Mass. “He doesn’t get it” was the response Sunday from former priest and sexual abuse victim Robert Hoatson. Hoatson is now calling for New York City Cardinal Archbishop Timothy Dolan to remove Scharfenberger as apostolic administrator.
